we all take it for granted now given what followed, but hearing THAT voice come out of an unknown 20yo from Quebec must have been quite the experience back in 1988.
France and Luxembourg made things more complicated. They could give Celine more points and avoid the thriller. But it was Eurovision's destiny to watch this thriller voting!
What a gentleman Scott Fitzgerald is! A true professional. I'm Scottish (as is Scott) but I wanted Céline to win so I was glad of the result. However Scott deserves much respect for his behaviour as the loser that evening.
wow what a great "loser" Scott Fitzgerald was that night. And looking back he did indeed lose to a very professional singer who turned out to become one world most famous singers ever... so that might help after all.
YUGOSLAVIA BEING DRAMATIC AS ALWAYS!! Greetings from ex-yugoslav country Croatia
France - best song
Celine- great
UK- I like the song very much but the singer made a huge mestake.
The most dramatic moment in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. Ever!!!
This is the end of a documentary called "and finally France " , broadcast on 26 Dec 1988 on RTE. The most thrilling Eurovision ever!!
Don't forget 2003 and 1993

One of the best-produced contests ever. An absolute triumph for RTÉ.
It must be painful and embarrasing for Scott when the Photographers left and transferred
to Celine Dion.

One year later, in 1989, the UK will give Yugoslavia 12 points! And the UK will lose again the 1st place!
